Let's get you newcomers all up to speed:
Before Dark Souls, Armored Core was From Software's biggest success, first released in 1997 for the PlayStation. It's a mech combat game based around insane customization and gameplay. What you're witnessing is the first true sequel and not expansion-"sequel" to the series, Armored Core 2 for the PS2. You are a mercenary, or "Raven," piloting an Armored Core, a 10-meter-tall unstoppable mech, hired by various companies to help wage their war as they colonize the surface of Mars and compete with one another for dominance over the Red Planet. The game features both a campaign and an Arena mode, a series of 1v1 battles between you and another A.I. opponent in the arena.
We all on the same page now? Good.
If you go through the campaign doing every mission with enemy Ravens, and kill all of them, you unlock new ones to fight in the game's Arena mode. There are 8 to fight in total, and the last one is Matthias, which is erroneously stated to be unlocked after the campaign; this is false, you can unlock him just before the final campaign mission. Matthias is far and away the most difficult enemy in the Arena, boasting high-power weapons (including the legendary Karasawa mk.II laser rifle) and robotic precision, along with high mobility and all of the game's unlockable enhancements. Suffice to say, even if you yourself have these enhancements, Matthias' level of A.I. bullshit is beyond that of just about any other game I've ever seen. Imagine my shock, then, when I accidentally bring him to the arena that he is most suited to, and manage to just barely destroy him only with the use of a machine gun. This video is a recording of the after-action replay.
I'll return to making real videos soon; for now, I just want to demonstrate that something I thought impossible has happened.

To be fair, I didn't need the exploit for this, but it surely made it faster. If you don't understand what's going on, watch my last video or Cheese Forever's much shorter and to-the-point video about the Revelry Titan Sentinel Infinite Shield Throw.
And no, this is not me bragging, so much as it is a demonstration.

We found the Sentinel shield capable of blocking even the single most powerful Super of any class. And meme'd it.
